Whatever goes down in Minneapolis today, it will be a first. Either the first time the Philadelphia Eagles have won a Super Bowl since the game was created in 1970, or the first time an NFL player (Patriots quarterback Tom Brady) has won six Super Bowls.

To make this day even more special, an asteroid will pass by the earth.

Though beer reigns during the Super Bowl, some people might prefer mixed drinks. To suit both camps, try this twist on a Salty Dog, though with the addition of beer — basically a salty-sweet beer cocktail garnished with bacon. It uses ingredients (vodka, sugar, salt, grapefruit juice, beer, bacon) you probably already have on hand. And since it’s neither green nor blue, but a copper tone, it’s nonpartisan.
